Slightly spontaneous...

There is only one good thing that comes from the end of summer...


And that is these bad boys!! YUM!!! Maple bars are possibly my favorite dessert.  We were trying to figure out what to do last night when we thought what the heck, it's only an hour drive to the fair!! :)  So we drove down to good ol' Burley and indulged a bit at the Cassia County Fair. 


I had a little to much fun in the commercial building and my wonderful hubby spoiled me with his school moolah.  Super cute Lia Sophia earrings and a new shell for my Miche bag! And of course the roasted almonds are a staple of going to the fair.


Here's our little pups excited for us to come home :)



 Tonight Kodi and her adorable little family hung out with us for a few hours.  I just love when we're all together, we always have lots of fun :) Adasynn starts 1st grade next Monday and Ember will be starting preschool! I can't believe how big my girls are getting.
 Look how big Baylee bug is getting! She turns one in 5 days.  It's crazy how time flies!!!
Here's Diesel dude smiling for the camera. So far this has been a fantastic weekend and we've still got one day left!

Camping with the Fam!

This last weekend was so much fun.  We definitely had a full house at the cabin this time, but I wouldn't have it any other way! We went to Yellowstone...






My wonderful sis and her bestie Katie beautified Shawn and I! Doesn't he look like he's having so much fun.


We went to the Discovery Center in West Yellowstone... and Adasynn got to feed the bears!  It was cute, they had all the little kids lined up and showed them how to hide the bear food under rocks and logs.  So when they let the bears back into their cage they could watch the bears find their food. 

We got to play in the park at the Discovery Center.




We also went rafting, when I get those pics I'll edit this post for your viewing pleasure :)  By the end of this trip we were all sooo exhausted! We were just having way to much fun!

This was definitely one of my favorite trips.  Heather and Brandon were able to come up and I got to meet little Kensley for the first time. It was so great to see everyone. Thanks parentals, I can't wait to go back!!

Pics of this last year

So I'm just going to put these in the order they are on my computer.  

Here's me and the hubby at our old apartment. We're lookin' mighty fly before a night out on the town.

Extreme Home Makeover

Extreme Home Makeover came to Pocatello!!  It was pretty much the most exciting thing that's ever happened in this town, haha.  It was really great to see our community pull together and build this house in a week! It's absolutely gorgeous too.  They do good work and it was a very deserving family.


Here's Mal and I hanging out with Jillian from the Bachelorette.  She was on the design team.

 Here's Pauly and Ty. It was so much fun celebrity stalking that week, haha.  Good times :)

Here's Shawn and I waiting for the shuttle to take us to the house so we could help out and work on it.  This was at like 2 in the morning.  We worked until about 4 a.m. and they sent everyone home because they were pretty much done with the house at that point.  We got to help put away groceries and pick up trash around the house. So we took advantage of that and made sure every room was trash free just so we get a tour of it.

Here's my hubby and I enjoying some good ol' delicious fair food at the Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot.  Yum!



Haha, okay don't judge us! This is my 3 besties Linz, Jill, and Whit.  We were doing those ear wax candles and I just had to throw this in here.  See that nasty green couch right there.  When it was my turn to do the ear candle, the ashes fell on the couch and burnt holes in it.  (thank goodness! We got rid of it after that, haha)



Here's our beautiful kitchen in our new casa!! This is the only room that has been completely redone.  We still have the basement to finish and then I want to remodel the upstairs too.  I'll show you pics of our upstairs now later.  It's cute, I just want to repaint and refinish the wood floors.  I have lots of ideas for this place, we just need to actually do them! :)


Christmas in California!!

Here's me and my adorable hubby at the beach. December is not the ideal time to go to the beach, but it's still so beautiful.  Shawn being the crazy man he is still went swimming in it, haha.  It was pretty funny.  My little nieces were absolutely adorable at the beach.  Ember couldn't stop running in the sand and Adasynn was just having the time of her life.  It was a great day :)

Here's my two favorite guys hanging out with Pluto.  We seriously had such a blast in Disneyland with everyone, I can't wait to go back! Our computer crashed not to long ago so we lost a ton of pics :(  So I don't really have anymore of our trip.  Luckily my amazingly talented sister made a photo book for everyone so we've still got them.  


Aren't these little coats adorable! My sister gave these to our girls for Christmas.  Kirra is the dog on the right that we gave to our neighbor.  She's pretty cute, we still visit her sometimes.

I'm pretty much the coolest wife ever and found this shirt for Shawn's birthday.

These were the best gummy worms ever! Aaron melted them and so generously shared them with us.  It was pretty funny watching the guys trying to dig into these. 


These pics are at Old Faithful, what a good hubby carrying my purse for me :)

Kayla and I

Our favorite hot pot!

This is after a very long four wheeler ride.  We were so dirty, it was awesome :)
